There's a certain kind of comfort in talking to strangers.

Maybe it’s not having to care about what he/she thinks
because you don’t know them at all,
and when they begin to be of importance that you start to care,
that’s where it starts to fall apart.
That’s why you keep a certain distance
from a person you actually want to care about;
keeping them a stranger,
but wanting them to be so much more,
but you can never find the courage to get attached to,
because when you start to care,
things change.
When you're caught between falling and staying where you are.

Maybe I am exactly like everybody else out there,
wanting to escape,
wanting to love, and be loved,
wanting to be happy,
and wanting to be content.

I’m exactly like you,
wanting everything that’s missing;
but unlike you,
I don’t want to be that anymore,
I want to be happy with what I’ve got,
and satisfied
with all that I’ve been given.

how
How do you carry on
knowing you've damaged so much around you?

How do you come to terms
with the people you've hurt?

How do you come to terms with yourself?

How do you accept your situation?
How do you accept how others see  you

*How do you accept yourself?

I've always wondered what was wrong
only to find that I was the cause all along

I'm always so unsure
constantly seeking to be assured

why do I always need to ask?

Steady as we go

but you are so breathtaking

How do I stay calm?

I almost had you;

at least that’s what it felt like,

seems like you had me.

Come take me away

Isn’t that what we all want?

Leave reality.
